She has done a fantastic job given all the travelling she has done at such a young age and fronting up to the best juveniles in the country almost each start. Surely this has taken its toll on her still growing body though. I would say she her racing life will end prematurely due to injury / bleeding.
Pretty sure Ben C you'll find that Ananz will be retired at end of season and go to stud. Seeing she becomes a FFA class horse when she turns 4.
Is it better for her to win 350K plus in her 2 and 3yo seasons or try and win it over 8 seasons?
Personally i'd rather have the money in the bank and send her to stud!!!!
Her trainer also has a great history of having young horses do what shes done. Your a brave man to question him as a trainer.
If thats the plans with her than the method of her racing career is fair then. Was just stating if she was going to maintain her current racing pattern it may have an detrimental effect. In that case definitly not questioning him as a trainer either.
